I give Vandele my highest recommendation for anyone looking to refresh or reimagine their living…read morespaces. They are talented, organized, fair, willing to listen, easy to deal with, professional, honest, and willing to make amends when they don't live up to their high standards. Briefly, we bought an apartment in an old Center City building that was suffering from hideous, drab brown walls that sucked the life out of the place. When we contacted Vandele, they were prompt and professional (unlike another painter who bailed on us at the last moment), first in scheduling an estimate - at a really competitive price - and then at scheduling the job itself. They even met us halfway with the price of a paint that we'd really loved, even though it should have been a higher cost. They offer a design consultation, which happened about a week out from the start date. My partner and I had already spent quite a bit of time thinking through color schemes, so this session was more of a chance to have a professional listen to us and reassure that what we wanted to do would look good. I think if you are more uncertain of color, you could get a real consultation and recommendations, but in our case, we just needed someone to tell us to stop looking at paint sample cards, that we had made a great choice. It's a small thing, but these nice, small things are what separate Vandele from others. On the day of the painting, the painters showed up on time, first thing in the morning. They would be there every morning on time for the next 4 days, just as the company said they would. I cannot tell you how much of a relief it is to have people do what they say, to not be worried the job won't get done, to have to be calling to find out what is going on, arguing to get what you are paying for. Since both of us work, it was wonderful to leave the apartment in the morning and know that we would not have to worry about the painting during the day and would be able to return at night to see the progress made during the day. They did their job while we did ours. After 4 days of work, the apartment truly looked like a different place. In the end, that is probably the most important part of the job and they excelled at this as well. Everything looked clean and skillfully done, no sloppy splattered paint where it didn't belong, no missed spots or not enough coats. Just clean edges, vibrant paint and a beautiful apartment that we could now call our own. After the job was complete, we did have one issue, but the way Vandele handled it makes me want to recommend them even more. We initially went with a bold color in the bathroom and immediately regretted our decision - the painters repainted it white the next day. After the job was completed and we resumed showering, immediately we realized that the paint was not handling the moisture well, as it looked like it was literally sweating out yellow paint. We contacted Vandele and showed them the problem; they agreed that the bathroom-specific paint was not used with all of the changes and offered to repaint the bathroom at no charge in a timely manner. No argument, no hassling over price, just an acknowledgment of a mistake and a plan to remedy it. We can't ask for anything more.

Recently I bought a house and had Vandele Design paint it. The previous owners had some pretty…read morehorrible color choices and I needed them changed ASAP! I had a general idea of what I wanted but as a heterosexual male I wasn't sure what would look good, what would work with what, etc. I threw my ideas at Ryan and he hit the ground running. Ryan is also a heterosexual male, but he does this professionally so he knows what he's doing. Ryan helped me finalize color choices and really had a vision for what he thought would look best in my house and fit with my ideas. He had a few suggestions that I was a little wary of, but I trusted his professional judgement and it really transformed the place! Vandele Design did a great job that everyone at my house warming party was complementing. They are very reasonable cost wise, very clean, polite, helpful, and do a top notch job.

At the end of their work in my house (1 week) I had them give me an estimate on one of my bathrooms that will need to be completely redone. They were extremely responsive throughout the whole process. From estimate to the end of the job. They always arrived to my house when they said they were going to (8a). They dealt with parking in the city without complaint. The price was exactly what I thought it should be, which was extremely fair and reasonable. I felt VERY safe and comfortable leaving their team in my house without me there. They were on time every morning (5 days of work), very clean and neat, and took off EVERY switch plate in the rooms that were painted! I was beyond impressed, they worked efficiently and were very helpful in doing some other repairs that were longstanding annoyances around my house. I will be using you all again! Thank you for making our household better!

We selected only highly rated ones with many reviews. The prices ranged a fair amount- and Marioni was one of the lower priced ones. We were also impressed when we did the walk through for the estimate that he was very thorough and also not telling us we needed extra work. We decided to use him and hoped we wouldn't regret it.....the job was completed in the promised time frame ( we were told approx 7-10 days. It ended up taking 7). Some days there were 2 painters, some days 4. Anything we pointed out was corrected and they were very respectful and courteous. Very pleased. Thorough, good work, timely.
